Here are the results.

TSH 1.670
FT3 2.8
free thyroxine 1.03 also
FT4-- not tested

A1c 6.3 !!!!!

First trying to understand the 6.3 and why it is and what to do to change it. Lat 3 months have been bouncing around the same weight up and down and up and down. Made a new effort last week to drop weight and use OMAD.

OMAD- the first time saw big drop in weight. Then struggled; so trying again with renewed effort but much harder to do this time.

A1c= 3 months of glucose bound to a protein. What can make the number be incorrect?? One or two bicscotti in the week before the test???

What to do?
OMAD but low carb, which is the usual as if do two days back to back with a high carb item, cravings are triggered.

Read Dr FUngs info on fasting. But his info was to only do 3-4 days a week of OMAD, but oddly 5-7 days fasting was ok. A 36 hour fast puts last meal at 6 pm and next meal at a breakfast. I do best if NO breakfast as I will then eat all day.
